ЛЮДЯНІСТЬ І ВІЙНА: ДО ПИТАНЬ РОЗРОБКИ КАТЕГОРІАЛЬНОГО АПАРАТУ

The work is devoted to the analysis of the phenomenon of dignity, which is studied by modern socio-humanitarian sciences as an orientation of moral consciousness and expresses the idea of the value of each person as a unique individual, as well as a special moral attitude of the individual to himself and the expectation of an appropriate response to the respectful attitude towards him by the society in which his value is recognized. We have established that dignity is primarily a form of self-awareness and self-control, which is the basis of a person's demands on himself or herself, and is closely related to such personality traits as conscience, honor, and responsibility. The concept of dignity is considered in the modern socio-philosophical discourse in the context of the value orientations of representatives of Ukrainian society and determines their patriotic behavior, which is especially in demand in the threatening conditions of martial law, which can deform the personality. Therefore, it is extremely important for the philosophical understanding of human dignity that all human abilities and preferences are involved in its production, and that value becomes a phenomenon of internal choice. The Russian narratives of the "little brother" and "peasantry" were aimed at the dignity of the entire nation, which in the war earned the respect of the whole world. It is established that the main characteristics of Ukrainian society are expressed by three key words: courage, resilience and solidarity, and therefore the author focuses on the etymology of the word victory, since it is in this desire for victory that human dignity is reflected in the consciousness of every Ukrainian. The author substantiates the social mechanisms of influence on the observance of human rights in war, on the preservation of dignity and the protection of dignity in the circumstances of new risks of the Russian-Ukrainian war.

The impact of leadership styles on marketing effectiveness and financial performance in Jordanian banks sectors: Corporate social responsibility as a mediator

Human abilities are the primary factors that define the path of the corporation's improvement; these capabilities can be improved via training, experience, education, and innovation. Therefore, the current study delves into the impact of different leadership styles on marketing effectiveness and corporate financial performance through the role of corporate social responsibility as a mediator by utilizing a Partial Least Squares Structural Equation Modeling (PLS-SEM) to research 100 managers in 2023 in Jordanian banking sectors. The result of this study has shown a significant and positive relationship between leadership styles, marketing effectiveness, and financial performance. Furthermore, social responsibility, which is the mediator of the study, shows a significant role in the connection between leadership styles and marketing effectiveness as well as financial performance in banks. Minutely, this study found that transformational style promotes an innovation culture and inspires employees in the banking sector, in other words, this style of leadership emphasizes corporate social responsibility programs that support the bank and society's objectives.

The role of physical education in preserving the integrity of human existence

The problems of preserving existentiality as a proper human way of being, human authenticity and identity arise in the wake of the latest technologies, instrumentalisation of human life and digitalisation of all spheres of society. Consideration of human integrity from the point of view of kalokagatia is presented in the article from the perspective of physical culture and sport. The mission of physical culture is understood and justified as ensuring the harmonious integrity of existentiality, human existence in its fundamental, deep ontological specificity. Harmonic integrity of a person is considered from the point of view of semantic differential of subjectivity of its research in three categories of persons: students, athletes, coaches. The meaning of harmonic integrity is also seen in the concept that actualises the idea of a special quality of the national resource - human capital, understood as a resource of skills and competences, as well as knowledge, on the basis of which human abilities are developed.

Движение к ноономике и неолиберальный барьер на пути технологической модернизации

The author raises fundamental questions related to the escalation of crisis phenomena in the economic, social and environmental spheres, which is the case for the entire modern human civilization. A social system based on the criteria of economic rationality, on the one hand, provides significant technological progress, but, on the other, fails to deal with the negative consequences of said progress using the latest technologies contrary to the interests of human development. The currently dominant neoliberal economy subjects production to the criterion of economic benefit, and in pursuit of profit growth and expansion of sales markets it leads to a mindless increase in production volumes and the exploitation of irreplaceable natural resources. Moreover, relying on the latest technologies, it develops the most sophisticated methods of manipulating and imposing simulated needs on the consumer, wasting the Earth’s resources to provide the consumer with illusory benefits that supposedly would satisfy these needs. With such a background, social contradictions and global economic conflicts are growing, escalating the threat of the use of mass destruction weapons. At the same time, modern knowledge-intensive technologies create an opportunity to overcome these issues. They ensure the satisfaction of human needs with decreasing costs of material resources. A high level of production knowledge-intensivity suggests an extended need for creative work, while forming a “cultural man”, turning consumer goods from the purpose of production only into means of providing conditions for the development of human creative abilities. However, the consistent implementation of these options requires abandoning the neoliberal paradigm of economic growth. The transition to other non-economic criteria of development, and, ultimately, the transition to noonomy − a non-economic way of ensuring human needs – requires a consistent, step-by-step development strategy. For our country the first stages of implementation of this strategy may be reflected in the achievement of technological sovereignty based on the reindustrialization of the economy based on the latest technologies. The means to achieving this stage are an active industrial policy and the use of methods of planned regulation of the market economy.

Say No to Freeloader: Protecting Intellectual Property of Your Deep Model.

Model intellectual property (IP) protection has attracted growing attention as science and technology advancements stem from human intellectual labor and computational expenses. Ensuring IP safety for trainers and owners is of utmost importance, particularly in domains where ownership verification and applicability authorization are required. A notable approach to safeguarding model IP involves proactively preventing the use of well-trained models of authorized domains from unauthorized domains. In this paper, we introduce a novel Compact Un-transferable Pyramid Isolation Domain (CUPI-Domain) which serves as a barrier against illegal transfers from authorized to unauthorized domains. Drawing inspiration from human transitive inference and learning abilities, the CUPI-Domain is designed to obstruct cross-domain transfers by emphasizing the distinctive style features of the authorized domain. This emphasis leads to failure in recognizing irrelevant private style features on unauthorized domains. To this end, we propose novel CUPI-Domain generators, which select features from both authorized and CUPI-Domain as anchors. Then, we fuse the style features and semantic features of these anchors to generate labeled and style-rich CUPI-Domain. Additionally, we design external Domain-Information Memory Banks (DIMB) for storing and updating labeled pyramid features to obtain stable domain class features and domain class-wise style features. Based on the proposed whole method, the novel style and discriminative loss functions are designed to effectively enhance the distinction in style and discriminative features between authorized and unauthorized domains, respectively. Moreover, we provide two solutions for utilizing CUPI-Domain based on whether the unauthorized domain is known: target-specified CUPI-Domain and target-free CUPI-Domain. By conducting comprehensive experiments on various public datasets, we validate the effectiveness of our proposed CUPI-Domain approach with different backbone models. The results highlight that our method offers an efficient model intellectual property protection solution.

ANALYSIS OF ARMENIAN STUDENTS STRENGTH ENDURANCE INDICATORS

Strength endurance is considered one of the manifestations of human strength abilities. Indicators of strength endurance give some idea of a person's physical fitness, as well as the functional state of various organs and systems. In the course of the study, it was found that in recent years, specialists in the field of physical education have begun to show quite a lot of interest, especially in the indicators of strength endurance of students. Through this study, an attempt was made to find out the indicators of strength endurance of Armenian students and their compliance with international standards. The purpose of the study is to figure out the level of strength endurance of Armenian students. The study was carried out in February 2024 at Yerevan State Medical University named after Mkhitar Heratsi, V. Bryusov State University and the Armenian State Institute of Physical Culture and Sport. The study involved 177 participants. During the study, testing was carried out through 3-minute burpee test. The following data were obtained from the statistical analysis of the test results: male students - 38.55 (X), 11.97 (σ), 1.29 (m); female students - 34.31 (X), 14.39 (σ), 1.51 (m). From a comparative analysis of the indicators of female and male students, it became clear that female students lag slightly behind the male students in their indicators. The difference is statistically significant (t=2.13, p<0.05) and is 4.24. The data obtained were compared with the data of European (Polish, British, Hungarian, Serbian) students. It turned out that Armenian students have lower level of strength endurance than Europeans. Thus, the international standards of the Burpee 3 m test cannot be applied to Armenian students.

Exploring the Impacts of Knowledge Infrastructure, Dynamic Capability, and Customer Relationship Management Ability on Business Value of a Firm

The dynamic capability of a firm is the ability to combine, develop, and reconfigure the external as well as internal expertise to respond to the changing business environment in a faster manner. A firm's knowledge infrastructure capability includes structural ability, technological ability, and human resource ability to meet the changing business requirements for the firm to manage its knowledge base. Also, the customer relationship management (CRM) ability of a firm helps it to engage with customers to meet their dynamically changing requirements. Studies show how these capabilities can enhance business value. But there is no study which investigated the combined impacts of a firm's knowledge infrastructure, dynamic capability, and CRM capability on creating business value. Therefore, this study aims to close this gap. With the help of dynamic capability view and resource-based view theory along with literature, we prepared a theoretical model. Later, we validated the model using partial least square structural equation modeling technique with 317 responses from India. The study finds that there is a significant and positive combined impact of a firm's knowledge infrastructure, dynamic capability, and CRM capability on the value creation for the firm, which in turn significantly and positively impacts firm performance.

Integrating Large Language Model, EEG, and Eye-Tracking for Word-Level Neural State Classification in Reading Comprehension.

With the recent proliferation of large language models (LLMs), such as Generative Pre-trained Transformers (GPT), there has been a significant shift in exploring human and machine comprehension of semantic language meaning. This shift calls for interdisciplinary research that bridges cognitive science and natural language processing (NLP). This pilot study aims to provide insights into individuals' neural states during a semantic inference reading-comprehension task. We propose jointly analyzing LLMs, eye-gaze, and electroencephalographic (EEG) data to study how the brain processes words with varying degrees of relevance to a keyword during reading. We also use feature engineering to improve the fixation-related EEG data classification while participants read words with high versus low relevance to the keyword. The best validation accuracy in this word-level classification is over 60% across 12 subjects. Words highly relevant to the inference keyword received significantly more eye fixations per word: 1.0584 compared to 0.6576, including words with no fixations. This study represents the first attempt to classify brain states at a word level using LLM-generated labels. It provides valuable insights into human cognitive abilities and Artificial General Intelligence (AGI), and offers guidance for developing potential reading-assisted technologies.

Integrating Simultaneous Motor Imagery and Spatial Attention for EEG-BCI Control.

EEG-based brain-computer interfaces (BCI) are non-invasive approaches for replacing or restoring motor functions in impaired patients, and direct brain-to-device communication in the general population. Motor imagery (MI) is one of the most used BCI paradigms, but its performance varies across individuals and certain users require substantial training to develop control. In this study, we propose to integrate a MI paradigm simultaneously with a recently proposed Overt Spatial Attention (OSA) paradigm, to accomplish BCI control. We evaluated a cohort of 25 human subjects' ability to control a virtual cursor in one- and two-dimensions over 5 BCI sessions. The subjects used 5 different BCI paradigms: MI alone, OSA alone, MI, and OSA simultaneously towards the same target (MI+OSA), and MI for one axis while OSA controls the other (MI/OSA and OSA/MI). Our results show that MI+OSA reached the highest average online performance in 2D tasks at 49% Percent Valid Correct (PVC), and statistically outperforms both MI alone (42%) and OSA alone (45%). MI+OSA had a similar performance to each subject's best individual method between MI alone and OSA alone (50%) and 9 subjects reached their highest average BCI performance using MI+OSA. Integrating MI and OSA leads to improved performance over both individual methods at the group level and is the best BCI paradigm option for some subjects. This work proposes a new BCI control paradigm that integrates two existing paradigms and demonstrates its value by showing that it can improve users' BCI performance.

Brain Liberation - An Anthropological Reflection on the Threat of Artificial Intelligence

Abstract This study examines the threat of AI to the emancipation of the human brain, with a particular focus on its impact on human logical thinking and creativity. It reveals the centrality of AI in knowledge engineering by analyzing expert systems constructed by the Symbolist school, which emphasize the role of knowledge bases and reasoning machines by simulating human logical thinking. The study also examines how AI affects modern human subjectivity, utilizing the “Valley of Terror” curve theory to explain the changes in human attitudes toward AI Further, the study introduces human brain-based AI models, such as the application of back-propagation algorithms in neural networks, as well as a cognitive-based model of knowledge operations in the human brain. The results show that the development of AI poses a threat to human brain power, especially in information processing and decision making. AI can replace human brain functions, leading to human logic and creativity degradation. For example, the application of ChatGPT in education can significantly improve students’ test rankings and reduce the reliance on individual thinking skills. In summary, AI may lead to the degradation of human logical thinking and creative ability while improving efficiency and convenience, affecting the overall development of human beings. Therefore, the focus should be on balancing the relationship between the utilization of AI and the development of human brain capacity, significantly to enhance the cultivation of human creativity and imagination in education and innovation.

Humans can identify reward-related call types of chickens.

Humans can decode emotional information from vocalizations of animals. However, little is known if these interpretations relate to the ability of humans to identify if calls were made in a rewarded or non-rewarded context. We tested whether humans could identify calls made by chickens (Gallus gallus) in these contexts, and whether demographic factors or experience with chickens affected their correct identification context and the ratings of perceived positive and negative emotions (valence) and excitement (arousal) of chickens. Participants (n = 194) listened to eight calls when chickens were anticipating a reward, and eight calls in non-rewarded contexts, and indicated whether the vocalizing chicken was experiencing pleasure/displeasure, and high/low excitement, using visual analogue scales. Sixty-nine per cent of participants correctly assigned reward and non-reward calls to their respective categories. Participants performed better at categorizing reward-related calls, with 71% of reward calls classified correctly, compared with 67% of non-reward calls. Older people were less accurate in context identification. Older people's ratings of the excitement or arousal levels of reward-related calls were higher than younger people's ratings, while older people rated non-reward calls as representing higher positive emotions or pleasure (higher valence) compared to ratings made by younger people. Our study strengthens evidence that humans perceive emotions across different taxa, and that specific acoustic cues may embody a homologous signalling system among vertebrates. Importantly, humans could identify reward-related calls, and this ability could enhance the management of farmed chickens to improve their welfare.

Bi-Manual Sensory Discrimination: A Kinesthetic Study.

The ability of humans to perceive and differentiate kinesthetic sensory information significantly influences our daily activities and motor control. This study examines the impact of asynchronous bi-manual discrimination tasks compared to uni-manual discrimination tasks on kinesthetic perception. Our study aims to reveal the relationship between kinesthetic perception of haptic signals by examining perceptual thresholds in three different scenarios using (i) the dominant hand, (ii) the non-dominant hand, and (iii) both hands simultaneously to differentiate between two successive signals. Subjects exposed to force signals in these three situations conveyed their perceptions of alterations in signal magnitude after each trial. Subsequently, we applied psychometric functions to the collected responses to determine perceptual thresholds. Our results indicate a substantial difference in threshold values between bi-manual and uni-manual scenarios, with the bi-manual scenario exhibiting higher thresholds, indicating inferior perceptual ability when both hands are simultaneously utilized in two separate discrimination tasks. Furthermore, our investigation reveals distinct perception thresholds between the dominant and non-dominant hands, owing to differences in the perceptual capability of the two hands. These findings provide substantial insight into how the nature of tasks may alter kinesthetic perception, offering implications for the development of haptic interfaces in practical applications.

THE DEPICTION OF DEATH IN JEAN-PAUL SARTRE'S NOVEL “NAUSEA”

In the article, we explore a range of important concepts regarding the interpretation of death in Jean-Paul Sartre's novel “Nausea”. While examining the question of death, we pay special attention to the impossibility of fully revealing the nature of this phenomenon from the perspective of ordinary or generalized human experience. Our article focuses on the existential concept of death, which was partially formed, advocated, and implemented by Jean-Paul Sartre himself in his works. A series of quotes from the novel “Nausea” is presented to illustrate Jean-Paul Sartre's philosophical views on the ability of humans to reassess individual, collective, and transcendent notions of the transition from the living to the non-living. The issue of a distinct ethics of murder and suicide is raised in the novel “Nausea”. Particular attention is given to the concept of suicide, which has a rather unconventional authorial interpretation among representatives of existentialism, with Jean-Paul Sartre being a prominent figure. It is shown that suicide, as interpreted by the writer, does not have the usual contours, as it is explained from the perspective of the inability to avoid “superfluous things” in the world. An even more revolutionary position regarding murder is that it is positioned from the standpoint of “liberation from existence” as a “beneficent act”. The absurdity of Jean-Paul Sartre's assertions is caused by a reinterpretation of the paradigm of “hostages of being”, who are unable to independently make the right choice and should be "grateful" to those who shorten their lives. This paradigm has an existential nature that is reinterpreted through a reassessment of the burden of choice by humans. The relevance of our research is determined by the inevitability of the problem of death throughout human history. It is proven that Jean-Paul Sartre made a significant breakthrough in comprehending the mystery of death. A range of aspects for comprehending the theme of death is proposed: death in historical past, death in the future, murder, suicide, and so on. An overview of some scholarly investigations regarding the life and works of the writer concerning the theme of death is provided. It is demonstrated that death is devoid of purely negative connotations since its nature merely reproduces general disorder. Sartre believes that the disorder itself is not based on the nature of chaos but on the inability of humans to encompass the entirety of events. It is noted that the primitivization of death does not contribute to understanding its nature but rather makes it more incomprehensible.

Neural Correlate and Movement Decoding of Simultaneous-and-Sequential Bimanual Movements Using EEG Signals.

Bimanual coordination is important for developing a natural motor brain-computer interface (BCI) from electroencephalogram (EEG) signals, covering the aspects of bilateral arm training for rehabilitation, bimanual coordination for daily-life assistance, and also improving the multidimensional control of BCIs. For the same task targets of both hands, simultaneous and sequential bimanual movements are two different bimanual coordination manners. Planning and performing motor sequences are the fundamental abilities of humans, and it is more natural to execute sequential movements compared to simultaneous movements in many complex tasks. However, to date, for these two different manners in which two hands coordinated to reach the same task targets, the differences in the neural correlate and also the feasibility of movement discrimination have not been explored. In this study, we aimed to investigate these two issues based on a bimanual reaching task for the first time. Finally, neural correlates in the view of the movement-related cortical potentials, event-related oscillations, and source imaging showed unique neural encoding patterns of sequential movements. Besides, for the same task targets of both hands, the simultaneous and sequential bimanual movements were successfully discriminated in both pre-movement and movement execution periods. This study revealed the neural encoding patterns of sequential bimanual movements and presented its values in developing a more natural and good-performance motor BCI.

Quantifying active brain areas at spatial hearing process using Electroencephalography (EEG) source localization approach

The human ability for spatial hearing encourages the development of spatial audio technology to support many human activities. Spatial audio mimics the real-life sound and provides a more immersive hearing experience as if the listener were present in the environment where the sound source was recorded. Recently, research on how spatial hearing processes are encoded in the brain has begun to be developed. As a modality for brain activity measurement that is non-invasive and has a high temporal resolution, Electroencephalography (EEG) is suitable for studying brain responses to moving sound stimuli. This study compared brain activity in hearing stereo and spatial audio stimulus. Through measurements using 21 EEG electrodes on the scalp, the results showed an increase in the mean PSD for all Theta, Alpha, and Beta waves in the spatial audio stimulus compared to stereo audio. The most significant increase in the mean PSD occurred in the Beta wave of 93.8008 µV2/Hz. Furthermore, the source localization approach with Independent Component Analysis (ICA) and Low-resolution Brain Electromagnetic Tomography (LORETA) method was used to estimate and quantify the active brain area of this process. The results showed an activation of the non-auditory cortex when the subject was hearing spatial audio stimulus. By using Paired T-Test of current density for both hearing processes, the results showed there was no significant difference (p > 0.05) in Brodmann area (BA) 41 (Primary Auditory Cortex) and BA 42 (Secondary Auditory Cortex). Meanwhile, for the spatial audio hearing process, there was a significant difference (p < 0.05) in BA 6 (Premotor Cortex), which is related to spatial orientation, and BA 9 (Dorsolateral Prefrontal Cortex), which is associated with executive functions, including working memory and selective attention. This study offers potential insights into spatial hearing research and immersive audio production.

Cultural evolutionary pragmatics: Investigating the codevelopment and coevolution of language and social cognition.

Language and social cognition come together in communication, but their relation has been intensely contested. Here, I argue that these two distinctively human abilities are connected in a positive feedback loop, whereby the development of one cognitive skill boosts the development of the other. More specifically, I hypothesize that language and social cognition codevelop in ontogeny and coevolve in diachrony through the acquisition, mature use, and cultural evolution of reference systems (e.g., demonstratives: "this" vs. "that"; articles: "a" vs. "the"; pronouns: "I" vs. "you"). I propose to study the connection between reference systems and communicative social cognition across three parallel timescales-language acquisition, language use, and language change, as a new research program for cultural evolutionary pragmatics. Within that framework, I discuss the coevolution of language and communicative social cognition as cognitive gadgets, and introduce a new methodological approach to study how universals and cross-linguistic differences in reference systems may result in different developmental pathways to human social cognition.

Rhythms in Speech.

Speech can be defined as the human ability to communicate through a sequence of vocal sounds. Consequently, speech requires an emitter (the speaker) capable of generating the acoustic signal and a receiver (the listener) able to successfully decode the sounds produced by the emitter (i.e., the acoustic signal). Time plays a central role at both ends of this interaction. On the one hand, speech production requires precise and rapid coordination, typically within the order of milliseconds, of the upper vocal tract articulators (i.e., tongue, jaw, lips, and velum), their composite movements, and the activation of the vocal folds. On the other hand, the generated acoustic signal unfolds in time, carrying information at different timescales. This information must be parsed and integrated by the receiver for the correct transmission of meaning. This chapter describes the temporal patterns that characterize the speech signal and reviews research that explores the neural mechanisms underlying the generation of these patterns and the role they play in speech comprehension.

Two Determinants of Dynamic Adaptive Learning for Magnitudes and Probabilities.

Humans face a dynamic world that requires them to constantly update their knowledge. Each observation should influence their knowledge to a varying degree depending on whether it arises from a stochastic fluctuation or an environmental change. Thus, humans should dynamically adapt their learning rate based on each observation. Although crucial for characterizing the learning process, these dynamic adjustments have only been investigated empirically in magnitude learning. Another important type of learning is probability learning. The latter differs from the former in that individual observations are much less informative and a single one is insufficient to distinguish environmental changes from stochasticity. Do humans dynamically adapt their learning rate for probabilities? What determinants drive their dynamic adjustments in magnitude and probability learning? To answer these questions, we measured the subjects' learning rate dynamics directly through real-time continuous reports during magnitude and probability learning. We found that subjects dynamically adapt their learning rate in both types of learning. After a change point, they increase their learning rate suddenly for magnitudes and prolongedly for probabilities. Their dynamics are driven differentially by two determinants: change-point probability, the main determinant for magnitudes, and prior uncertainty, the main determinant for probabilities. These results are fully in line with normative theory, both qualitatively and quantitatively. Overall, our findings demonstrate a remarkable human ability for dynamic adaptive learning under uncertainty, and guide studies of the neural mechanisms of learning, highlighting different determinants for magnitudes and probabilities.

Особливості стратегічного управління конкурентоспроможністю компаній зі страхування життя

The article defines the features of strategic management of competitiveness of life insurance companies (LICs). It is specified that the development of insurance and the need to protect people from the increasing impact of various risks associated with their livelihood, such as loss of income as a result of loss of human ability to work or the death of a family breadwinner, have led to the emergence of life insurance companies. It is noted that any decisions aimed at ensuring competitive advantages are risky, since they are based on the inability to accurately predict how the competitive environment will affect the company’s actions. The competitiveness management strategy of a LIC should take into account how likely its relationship with the competitive environment is, as this significantly increases the level of uncertainty in the management process and creates a risk that the company will lose in competition. A model of strategic management of the competitiveness of a LIC has been developed, which is closely related to the managerial qualities of its activities, that is, it provides for a certain complex that has: components of management, strategic goals, tactical tasks of management. An algorithm for assessing the level of management of the competitiveness of LICs has been proposed, which is based not only on the assessment of the competitive position through the efficiency of management, but also reflects the effectiveness of the insurance company’s activities in the formation of competitive advantages in the process of struggle for effective demand, taking into account the conditions of the insurance market and the needs of consumers. It is concluded that one of the important conditions for effective strategic management of competitiveness of life insurance companies is the study of the insurance market and determination of the competitive status of the company in it. Assessment of the level of competitiveness of a LIC is mandatory for all market participants who seek to maintain their place or increase their competitiveness. It is proved that managing the competitiveness of a life insurance company is a priority direction of the organization’s management, since it determines the company’s ability to exist in the market.

The Effect of Swimming Exercise on Memory Impairment and Inflammatory Cytokines Caused by Lipopolysaccharide Injection in Male Rats

Memory is a fundamental human ability that enables the nervous system to encode, store, and retrieve various types of information. The aim of this study was to examine the effect of swimming exercise on memory impairment and the inflammatory cytokines TNFα and IL1 caused by lipopolysaccharide injection in male rats. In this study, 40 NMRI mice, approximately 70 days old and weighing 23 ± 1 grams, were used. The mice were randomly divided into four groups: a control group (no exercise with saline, no exercise with lipopolysaccharide) and an experimental group (exercise with saline, exercise with lipopolysaccharide). The training program included two phases of swimming: an adaptation phase and a swimming phase. The adaptation phase consisted of three 10-minute sessions with a 10-minute rest interval between each session. The duration of swimming was progressively increased from 20 minutes in the second week to 30 minutes in the third week. The data collected were analyzed using SPSS software with a two-way analysis of variance. The findings of this study demonstrated that swimming significantly reduced the levels of TNFα and IL1 in male rats (p<0.05). Lipopolysaccharide reduces spontaneous activity and impairs memory, whereas swimming exercise enhances memory function and spontaneous activity. Therefore, swimming exercise has anti-inflammatory effects and improves memory.
